4. After tying, exercise care not to hook the arm on
the rebars and pull the tool up.
Cautions on working
• If you move the arm from the tying position during
the wire tying process, the wire will get stuck on
the hook, which may lead to incorrect tying.
• Keep pressing the tool against the rebars until the
wire tying process is completed.
• Do not move to the next tying point until the cur-
rent wire tying process is completed.
• The tool tip rotating part (hook) twists the wire
during the wire tying process. Hold the grip firmly
so that your body is not pulled by the tool.
• Do not touch the wires during the wire tying
process.
• If you are repeating the wire tying processes in
the single actuation mode, fully release your finger
from the switch trigger. Then, continue to operate
the switch trigger.
• If you pull the switch trigger when there is no tie
wire left, an error is displayed. Replace with a new
tie wire and restart the tool.
Tying tips
• Tilt the tool at a 45° angle to the crossed rebars,
and tie alternately as shown in the figure.
• Avoid strumous sections of rebars.
• If tying strength is insufficient, change the tying orientation
and perform tying twice so that tying strength increases.
NOTICE:
When you make the second tie, bend
the tail of the first tie before making the second tie.
Otherwise, the wire may be repelled a second time. It
may cling to the tool tip, and the hook may be damaged.
Replacing the tie wires
CAUTION:
When you replace the wire, be sure
to turn the power off, lock the trigger, and remove the
battery cartridge. Failure to do so may cause an accident.
1. When wire has been used up, an error tone will
sound and error "1" will be displayed.
2.
Lock the trigger, turn the power off, and remove
the battery cartridge.
3. Push the release lever, and lock it with the lock lever.
